It Would Be Best If You Went to a Doctor

You might benefit, at least temporarily, by getting a prescription for xanax or another minor tranquilizer to calm you down a little bit. Are you stressed for specific reasons or does it seem to be purely biological? Do you really want to eat? Unfortunately when you don't eat for several days, you do start to get unstable mentally and physically? Once you are of a low body weight, you will be cold.
You might want to try meal supplement drinks like ensure. My doctor recommended it for me. You could also try making your own milkshakes with fruits, nuts, and protein powders. This assumes that you can keep thick liquids down.
You should go to the doctor, especially if you can't get any nourishment. Two weeks is a long time to be starving, regardless of your weight. If you are unweight or rapidly heading that way, it is even more critical.

Hello...
I understand this is very difficult to you but you have to think. Starvation and anorexia is very thought controlling but you have to be very strong and think clear: I have to people cuz that is what we do to get energy and for our cells to function so we can function. We all have to eat cuz otherwise we will die. Have a control over your thoughts. Please.
I do understand that it is difficult to speak with someone. I personally find it easier to talk in this way and learn from others. Look around you: people eat and they look happy. They are laughing and enjoying them selves and so can you. Don't isolate yourself from people- just force yourself to be part of the sociaty and please just take care of yourself and eat. :( . Please

That is a good step. Be ready for the journey. It will be very difficult one and people are just crazy when they just think that one little thing has to happen and you are fine. No...It is a loooong journey and I really hope you will learn a lot about your self through it.
The only thing I can advise you is just to be honest to the doctors. Be honest how you feel and be open for the help. I am sure you will be better soon.
Other thing is also not to isolate yourself. You are aware you have lost a weight and I am sure so have other people around you noticed...And it can be rather scary for them to approach you and talk to you or even ask you how you feel. You approach them! Try to eat with them! It will be easier if you are surrounded around "healthy eating people" and slowly learn from them instead of just being locked in the thoughts and loneliness. I wish you all the best.
Please take care.
Love,
lilo

Hey hun ,
well I don't want to sound panniky or anything but you need help emediatly if possible you should go talk to someone that you trust tell them what's going on cause well your body does not have enough energie to heat itself up anymore as you can tell.. You need help and you probably will not be able to get out of it on your ownit is a very big challenge .. But if you don't think you can talk to someone about it cause they won't understand then I felt the sam way and feel the came way also it's as if they have to be livingit to understand it so if you need help or want any I would be glad to give you a hand
yours trully
katy
